    @Blizzard_Ent This is bullshit I've been supporting Overwatch since day 1 and just because I have Cricket as my phone service provider, you are not allowing us to to play. Total bullshit!!! #bullshit #fixthis # WeWantToPlay

  • Stryxus Stryxus (@Stryxus) reported

    Decided not to stream Overwatch until its login is stable.

  • MYSTICMTNGOAT dad noise mcgee (@MYSTICMTNGOAT) reported

    **** blizzard, **** overwatch 2, this **** is so dumb you had MONTHS to make sure this **** worked right but instead there's (supposedly) a line of 40K+ people waiting to get into the servers and no matter how long you wait, there's always some issue and you're put in back again

  • angelwi9 SirKatzolotl🏛️ (@angelwi9) reported

    @Djturbo30 @ObaKiYoBa This is not true, don't be worried. Overwatch 1 owners get the first premium battle pass for free. Mine is still locked too, but Blizzard acknowledged the issue.

  • mikiedurham maybe (@mikiedurham) reported

    I'd like to imagine that this #Overwatch2 ddos attack is because they took overwatch 1

  • b00marrows b00marrows (@b00marrows) reported

  • LogisticalTacos Matthew stiles (@LogisticalTacos) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I am still unable, after 5 and a half hours of waiting, to play Overwatch 2. I have never had this much trouble getting into a game server before. Is anyone else having this much trouble with connecting. I just looked up and apparently there was DDoS 3 hrs ago?

  • nickduzstuf nickduzstuf (@nickduzstuf) reported

    my overwatch 2 experience: waited 2 and a half hours in queue just to find out my account got wiped. was hoping to grind the battle pass and maybe stream but can't now @PlayOverwatch fix ur goddamn game

  • piercedpolite22 PiercedandPolite (@piercedpolite22) reported

    @PlayOverwatch You do realize that anybody with Cricket or any other prepaid phone service can not access your game…right? I personally have put hundreds of hour into Overwatch 1 and am kind of upset I can no longer play. I was excited to play Overwatch again but. I guess not.

  • JustJouseph Justjouseph (@JustJouseph) reported

    Why tf can I not play overwatch 2 It's been hell to download cuz it kept stopping and it wasn't network problems cuz I tried downloading other games And now it's downloaded and I can't even start the game tf ? #Overwatch2

  • Crazy490G Crazy490 Giant (@Crazy490G) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Anyone have the problems with overwatch 2 when you load it up and it says sorry free trial over purchase full game

  • MattPalmerV1 Matty P (@MattPalmerV1) reported

    @BlizzardCS is there an issue where almost none of my overwatch 1 cosmetics got moved over ? I had alot of items and now I have none

  • niall_scribbles De-Niall (Taylor Supremacy) (@niall_scribbles) reported

    not overwatch giving me an error message and then telling me there are 40k ppl ahead of me in the queue

  • Mightboosh666 Andrew (@Mightboosh666) reported

    @Qwik Well the move to shut down overwatch 1 has ****** you if you left it up for atleast a month or 2 people would have something to play whilest you fix this issue and wouldn't have a massive wave of players wanting to get into the game asap

  • PokebudP ghost (@PokebudP) reported

    @BlizzardCS Blizzard making you having to have a phone number for overwatch too is stupid My friend can't play because he doesn't have a phone I will personally come over and murder your family if you don't fix this blizzard OK

  • Hentaiking1231 🔞HentaiKing 🎃Spooky Month (@Hentaiking1231) reported

    This is literally by far the worst launch day for Overwatch 2 so many players are trying to get into the game, but no news on the issue from the developers themselves. It’s been four hours and still some people can’t even get into the game and play this is pathetic.

  • Emmett_OW2 Emmett (Average OW2 Mauga Enjoyer) (@Emmett_OW2) reported

    @Noctury_Xbox @Qwik hope they can deal with the DDoS and make Overwatch 2 playable for everyone, cuz this mass DDoS is bad by the looks of it. so yh, whishing the team the best :)))

  • Egood_Tyler EGoodTyler (@Egood_Tyler) reported

    I can't play overwatch 2 because my phone service doesn't support it wtf @Blizzard_Ent you all dumb

  • WRemchuck Remchuck (@WRemchuck) reported

    @washjustice The problem is we can't get into Overwatch

  • iTsSoKraken TTO Kraken (@iTsSoKraken) reported

    to anyone having trouble signing into overwatch 2 please scan repair your game

  • WLXGaming WLXGaming (@WLXGaming) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Any update available regarding the login issues of Overwatch 2 thus far?

  • alex_zee97 Alex (@alex_zee97) reported

    Overwatch 2 is the most disappointing game. The fact that all the new heroes will be locked behind a battle pass, being unable to switch your hero during a game is ******* absurd! Also, a DDos attack happened and it’s taking all day to fix it..unacceptable! 🙄 #Overwatch2
